One of My Favorite Pelican Kayaks
ฝัง

- My first kayak was a toy by all definition. Certainly not meant for fishing. Yet I took it to the max and caught lots of fish from it. Nowadays, I am lucky enough to have kayaks that don't need all the crazy modifications that my first yak did. Pelican makes some incredible fishing machines like the Catch series boats, but somehow I find myself drawn to a couple of recreational kayaks that they offer that were never meant for anglers. The Getaway, which was never intended to be fished from, is my favorite. But for half the price and half the weight, the Argo 100 is a surprise second place. It is an astonishingly capable kayak. And the older I get, the more I like it simple. Easy to lift. No drive to increase the draft. Etc. Etc. The Argo 100XR has all the ease of a small, simple kayak and a wonderful seat to keep you dry and comfortable all day. Sorry to sound like a commercial, but this little gem deserves all the praise it gets. As a one-time kayak dealer, I know Pelican would rather me sell the high-end kayaks that fetch higher profit margins, but the truth is that you don't have to spend a lot to get out on the water and have a great time...FISHING! Even if it's a recreational kayak.
I gave away the first Argo 100XR that I ever owned. This one is MINE! Haha. I hope to have it for a long time. And as long as I do, I will sing about it.

Man, it was great seeing you do what I got caught up many years ago on watching. I've missed these videos. Enjoy your day brother.
THANKS for taking us on a great yak adventure and fishing trip!
The days of Old Marty! What built the channel. This is the classic good stuff we all want to see!! Marty really displays the beautiful ambience in his fishin videos. Glad to see you back in Florida!
Great video marty, so good to have you bac6
The good life! Glad to see it again. While I live in cold rain up North, I get to live vicariously through you. Thanks!
Trying to remember what your narration cadence reminded me of and finally got it. Warren Miller. He did amazing ski videos I used to love in the 80's and you have a similar style and sense of humor. Thank you for the content.
As a college student who knew nothing about Warren Miller, and then doing some research which I highly enjoyed, I can confirm and whole heartedly agree with this
1/4 "scale" model ?? 😆 🤣
Good to see you on the water.
Love the guys enthusiasm off camera.
Thanks for sharing!!! Great to see you back in a kayak!!!
Always thought that was a cool little kayak. Debated grabbing one as a stress free get up and go/loner yak for when I don't wanna lug around my 63lb sit in top.
Great vid man 🤙
You are a good guy Marty like the best Uncle and big brother, so good to see you back in your happy place, we love ya. Peace brother
Thanks Marty; good video. Pelican has really gotten it together with great craft and nice Xtra gear. No doubt great products. Nice rod mod 👍, very handy. The adult beverage holder is a nice touch also. We all knew what you were getting out of the cooler bag. LoL 👍. 73 and GOD bless Earnest K5EWM.
PS. Merry Christmas and have a Happy & Safe New Year's.
I appreciate you going over the modifications. I don’t want to lug around a heavy fishing kayak, nor invest in one. This seems doable. 🤙
YUP this content is gold. Been a viewer and fan for years. Good to see you back to your roots and keeping stuff simple. PLEASE TRY SOME MORE CATCH/COOKING AND STUFF ON THE KAYAK!
Great to see you out there enjoying the nature Marty. Nice little kayak there. Glad you had a nice day; and caught fish. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Great update thanks Marty! Love it when the Fish start towing you around! Stay safe & well! 👍👍
Thanks for taking us along, it was almost like being there!
I bought my new pelican pioneer premium because of the Argo Marty do mods to. Such a great kayak. Thank you Marty. It's been a blast. Waiting on the new pelican CF paddle to come in. Good time s
Can’t beat the backwaters!!
It is nice to see you in a kayak in Florida again.
Thanks Marty,
I've been with you a while.
Enjoy!

Nice to have you back were you belong Bro have a merry Christmas LOve ya Hay
Great video Marty. I was actually up fishing in your neck of the woods last week in my 14ft aluminum boat. Had a blast and only ran aground three times.
I have a Pelican Catch 110 Hydryve. I like pelican kayaks. Affordable. Taken care of, they'll last. Love the video and the bud light. I'm living in the Philippines and miss our American beer!
Glad your Doing Well Marty! Hope You Have a Merry Christmas And Happy New Year! Plan For A Great Fishing Season In 2023! Lets Catch Alot OF Fish!
I Miss these fishing videos
Life is good Marty.....👍
Man I missed these types of videos
Long lake…love that area
I have the same rod/reel combo I’d highly recommend the tlc 3000
Thank you Marty
Great videos Florida Joe
Love kayak fishing
I totally remember your first kayak long time ago
Great video!
Good stuff Marty
I spent 2 days in cocroach bay before fronts moved in and fish be jumping man. None into my kayak though. I don't have a fishing license and I dont fish but man it would be so cool to have dinner jump into kayak, lol. We are fixing to get cold weather so it might be super chilly out there in the tampa bay.
Enjoy as always, See you on the next .
Thanks Marty
I appreciate this. After a day on the water yesterday with my Catch 100, I am looking for a lighter, more simplified sit in option. The Catch is a nice boat, but heavy and not an ideal layout, in my opinion. I like the idea of 40+ pounds and being a bit more protected from the water in cooler months. Thanks.
Interested in your post. I have been looking at the Catch 100. Looks like a fishing machine
But I want simple lightweight easy to maneuver. Nothing fancy If wind is persistent just won’t go out
And don’t want to spend a lot of $$
What model would you suggest for a 1st kayaker
I mainly want to fish with it. Thanks
I ended up selling my Catch 100 and went with a Perception Sound 10.5. Sit in configuration at about 46 pounds. I think the newer Catch 100's are listed at about 57-59 lbs, which isn't extremely heavy, but 10-12 pounds heavier than the Percpetion. If you want a sit-on-top (which a lot of fishermen prefer), a solid unit that gets a lot of good reviews is the Pelican Rebel 100XP which weighs 44 pounds and has a 300 lb. capacity. It' has similar features as the Catch 100 (i.e stadium seat) - but is lighter at 44 ilbs. $499 at Dunham's, but you can find it cheaper on sale. I'm getting older and the weight has become a big deal for me. If you have a chance, go to a store that sells kayaks and sit in the ones on your short list. You'll be surprised in how much that helps in differentiating what will work for you and what won't. Hope that helps and good luck!.@@daveholte7658
@@jeremiahjohnson7741 thanks so much. Great info. I will look at the Rebel and go and do some sit ins….Appreciate the reply back
Loved this and extra fish,
Want to say how confident and comfortable you are in these videos, wondering if it's you back in you element or maybe it's that salty buttery popcorn 😜
Either way I'm really happy to see you like this..
Loved quarter sized snook
Thanks Marty
I am a first time buyer am a fisherman
I want simple lightweight none all those fancy features and not a lot of costs
But I want to be comfortable in the seat for a day on the water
Is this the one you suggest?
Can I add a seat as you have?
Is this one sit down or sit up on top model
Really enjoy your videos
Simple to the point no
bs and tells us like it is
Thanks
Just discovered your channel, new to kayaking. Just wondering if you installed the go pro / phone mount? Do you have a video showing how you installed it?
I Hope you have the best of holidays,and you are surrounded by love, laughter,family & friends.
🎄🎅 🤶 🕊💝🕎✡
Awesome!
When you used a GoPro hero did you need a wireless microphone in waterproof case.
So im looking at the pelican challenger 100 angler what are your thoughts on a first kayak
Hi I have a question are you going to finish the great loop
All I do is troll now on my Kayak, So much more success
Forgive my ignorance, but aren’t there alligators in those waters?
I wouldn’t even want to fish there, just kayak around
👍🙏👏
👋😎👍🎣
Zoffinger, you still drink Bud Light? 😄
what's wrong with drinking bud light?
@@jp400motox they support mental illness
Did you sell Kon Tiki?
What about alligators?
Gak pandai berdayung yang benar bro.. 😁
A Drinking Video ?
Meh, videos aren't the same since you quit on the loop.
It's sad to see what this channel has became you don't even try anymore
